The new month snuck up on me! We had two special little people staying over at Grandpa and Grandma's over the weekend, so I definitely wasn't looking at the calendar!
The collage for May's highlights will show some of the fun we had with Cate and Reagan. All three granddaughters are such delights in our lives, we welcome every opportunity to both spend time with them and have them here for overnight visits.
TOP ROW: We babysat for Reagan and we plumb wore her out! Having a sweet girl fall asleep on your lap is one of life's special treats. Our twin nieces graduated from high school, and are shown alongside their Grandma Jeannie. Mom had a fun weekend of celebrating with them. The pillows here and in the next row are for sone-in-law Jeff. This one is made from clothing of his beloved Grandfather Glen.
MIDDLE ROW: The second pillow is made from monogrammed shirts that Jeff no longer wears. Together, the pillows will adorn his 'man cave' for a classy addition to the sofa. The central picture of May's collage is our our new family room floor. We took out the carpet, replaced it with laminate flooring and put down a large area rug for a pleasing new look. After 33+ years, we have no more carpet in our downstairs. The last picture in the middle row is our newest family member - Annie. She is filling out nicely at 6-7 weeks old. Her sweet demeanor melts my heart, and I cannot get enough of cuddling her.
BOTTOM ROW: When Cate came for her overnight, she helped Grandpa fill the baby pool in preparation for a cool swim. Cate also was very taken with her Mini Mouse costume. We took Cate home, and went straight to Reagan's to bring her for an overnight. She has such a different demeanor than Cate, and makes her preferences known in no uncertain terms. She also played in the baby pool, and had big fun with Grandma's basket of toys.
Since I didn't highlight much quilting or sewing in that May collage, I need to establish some priorities for this month. I did continue playing and piddling with some scraps, but I should start a "real quilt." Let me interpret that for you: tackle a quilt on my goals list. We shall see what transpires...
Let's go have an awesome June, whaddya' say!? Sounds good to me!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
Jayne
